MySQL Regex to match a pattern for ignoring a character in search like Chris.Brown?
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Name varchar(40) ) ; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.63 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John.Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.30 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Chris Brown');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Chris.Brown');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('David Miller');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.23 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Chris.Taylor');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+--------------+ | Name | +--------------+ | John.Smith | | Chris Brown | | Chris.Brown | | David Miller | | Chris.Taylor | +--------------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to ignore a character in search −
mysql> select *from DemoTable where replace(Name,'.','')='Chris Brown';
This will produce the following output −
+-------------+ | Name | +-------------+ | Chris Brown | +-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
